Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle.

S
tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a

minutes.
F
O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
I
f the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.
Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
th
e two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
en
sure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at

F
R
efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F
A
llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.

Hybrid4 system
508HY-comp_en_Chap00b_hybrid_ed01-2016
Ventilation of the high voltage battery
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system. This comprises an air intake (located on the rear shelf) and a fan (located behind the left hand boot trim).
This ventilation system does not operate at the same speed at all times: it is continuously adjusted to suit the cooling requirements of the battery. The noise of its operation can be heard, particularly at the rear, after the HYbrid4
system is switched off (post-ventilation).
Safety recommendations
Do not obstruct the air intake with objects such as clothes or bags, in order to avoid any risk of the battery overheating, which could cause a loss of per formance of the HYbrid4 system,
even damage to the battery. Do not spill fluids, as this may damage the battery and cause a short-circuit.

Frequently asked questions
508HY-comp_en_Chap13_questions_ed01-2016
Air conditioning / Heating
QuestionAnswer
It seems to me that the vehicle runs less on electric when the heating or air conditioning is operating, is that right?
The demand for heating or air conditioning may require the starting of the HDi Diesel engine until the desired level of comfort is attained. Normal operation of the HYbrid4 system is simply put back. The period can be longer under very low or very high ambient temperatures.
It seems to me that when it is very hot and the air conditioning is working, the vehicle runs on electric for shorter periods. Is that right?
When it is hot, the periods when the HDi Diesel engine is put on standby and the vehicle runs on electric are necessarily restricted in order to limit the difference between the temperature in the vehicle and the level of comfort selected. In very hot weather, it is possible to press the " ECO OFF " button (which brings the vehicle out of ZEV mode and prevents electric running or the stopping of the engine) to give preference to temperature control (keeps the air conditioning running).
M i s c e l l a n e o u s
QuestionAnswer
Is towing possible with my HYbrid4 vehicle? For information on the towing ability of your HYbrid4 vehicle, refer to " Weights and towed loads" in the "Technical data" section. This allows a jet ski or two-wheeler on a trailer to be towed, for example. This limit is related to maintaining adequate cooling capacity for the HDi Diesel engine as well as the components of the HYbrid4 system that are also cooled by the engine's cooling system.
Why does engine braking seem so strong? If the high voltage battery is not fully charged, the engine braking results mainly from the energy recovery by the electric motor. The power of this engine braking is higher than that of an internal combustion engine.
